It doesn’t take a senior
rocket scientist to figure out that American Jews, who constitute 70 to
80 percent of the "liberal" vote for Democratic candidates,
heavily favor gun control for ALL Americans in the United States. And
there can be no greater proof of this anti-gun bias than an organization
formed by Jews: Jews for the Preservation of Firearms Ownership,
or JPFO. But why does a religious entity in America have to identify itself
as such?

Aaron Zelman, the Founder
and Executive Director of JPFO, explained the need to establish a Jewish
pro-gun/pro-Second Amendment organization in an interview
with Guns & Ammo magazine back in April 1996. When asked precisely
this question by G&A, Zelman offered the following explanation: "JPFO
was founded in 1989 to stop anti-Semites from accusing all Jews of being
‘anti-gun’ on account of a few misguided, high-profile ‘anti-gun’
Jews. JPFO also wanted to show to show that Jewish Law mandates self-defense,
and that ‘gun control’ subverts Jewish Law; and finally to
[inspire] any silent Jewish firearm-owners to speak up."

Zelman responds, " No one should back gun control. But some Jews’
victim mind set makes them do things - e.g., back ‘gun control’
- that promote victimhood. These Jews’ victim mind set dates from
135 Common Era (CE), when Rome smashed a Jewish Army seeking to regain
Israel’s freedom. Until Israel’s re-birth in 1948, Jews were
persecuted so often that many accepted this as normal. Such Jews forgot
our law requires self-defense. The victim mind set violates Jewish Law."

Zelman continues, "Jews
who back ‘gun control’ do not know that the Talmud –Judaism’s
Law Code - mandates self-defense. In Tractates B'rachos (Blessings), pp.
58a and 62b, and Sanhedrin (Law Courts), p. 72a, it is written: ‘And
the Torah says, if someone comes to kill you, arise quickly and kill him.’
(The Torah is the Five Books of Moses from the Bible). This repetition
in separate contexts shows that self-defense is every Jew’s personal
duty. For Jews, life is so precious that the only things a Jew may not
do to save his own life are commit murder, worship idols, and engage in
forbidden forms of sex."

All Americans are familiar
with the Jewish names that support "gun control," a euphemism
Zelman always likes to ensconce in quote marks to highlight the foolishness
of the term, and which serves to disguise the real intent of Second Amendment
abolitionists: the total abolition of all citizen ownership of any and
all firearms. Lead "high profile" Jewish gun abolitionist, Senator
Dianne Feinstein, said as much on CBS’ 60 Minutes a few years back.
CBS doesn’t much discuss the hypocrisy of Feinstein who carries
a handgun, or the hypocrisy of Senator Chuck Schumer who has an armed
former New York City Police detective as a bodyguard. And then of course,
there’s Rosy O’Donnell.

Liberal and Jewish gun abolitionists
always rely on news events, especially tragic ones such as Columbine,
to make their case that a complete eradication of the gun industry, including
the manufacture, shipping and transportation, the wholesaling and retailing
of firearms, would make guns disappear from the face of the earth, thereby
eliminating war, crime and Man’s inhumanity to Man. And of course
the UN, with its New World Order agenda, feels precisely the same way:
only the police and the military should have firearms; only government
requires them. This is totally against the grain, as well as the rule
of law, in this land, formerly unique as a constitutionally limited republican
government of the people, not the military and the police.

Recently, another horrendous
school
massacre took place, and in a nation where firearms ownership by ordinary
citizens was never a favorite idea of the former totalitarian Soviet dictatorship.
It is now evident, that rather than the peaceful dissent of the ballot
box, political differences are resolved by the automatic weapons fire
of armed rebellion. Both sides in the Chechen/Russian dispute have perpetrated
brutalities. The final horrific toll: 359 killed, including 156 children.

Writing for National
Review Online, Dave Kopel, a lawyer/journalist and long-time pro-gun
supporter and Research Director for the Independence Institute,
wrote before the final body count was determined: "No one knows how
this horrible situation will end; but we do know that it could have been
prevented. Decades ago, Israel adopted a policy that swiftly ended terrorist
attacks against schools. Earlier this year, Thailand adopted a similar
approach. It is politically incorrect, but it does have the advantage
of saving the lives of children and teachers. The policy? Encourage teachers
to carry firearms."

It may be recalled, that
when a few years back, our nation experienced a rash of savage copy-cat
shootings in schools all across the country, one shooting was stopped
when an assistant principal ran out to his car and armed himself with
a handgun and confronted the shooter; the massacre was stopped. And two
armed students at the Appalachian Law School performed a similar life-saving
service by being armed. But does the gun-hating media point this out?

In his article,
"Follow the Leader – Israel and Thailand set an example by
arming teachers," Kopel states, "Muslim extremists in Thailand’s
southern provinces of Narathiwat, Yala, and Pattani have been carrying
out a terrorist campaign, seeking to create an Islamic state independent
of Thailand, whose population is predominantly Buddhist. Most teachers
are Buddhists, and they have been a key target of the terrorists, who
have also perpetrated arsons against dozens of schools.

As reported by the Associated
Press (‘Thailand allows teachers in restive south to carry guns
for protection’) on April 27, 2004, ‘Interior Minister Bhokin
Bhalakula ordered provincial governors to give teachers licenses to buy
guns if they want to even though it would mean bringing firearms into
the classrooms when the region's 925 schools reopen May 17 after two months
of summer holiday’"

Kopel cites the AP article:
"Pairat Wihakarat, the president of a teachers’ union in the
three provinces, said more than 1,700 teachers have already asked for
transfers to safer areas. Those who are willing to stay want to carry
guns to protect themselves, he said."

Kopel goes on: "Gun-control
laws in Thailand are extremely strict, and are being tightened even more
because of three school shootings (perpetrated by students) that took
place in a single week in June 2003. Two students were killed. But though
Thailand’s government is extremely hostile to gun ownership in general,
it has recognized that teachers ought to be able to safeguard their students
and themselves."

Kopel asks: "Will Thailand’s
new strategy work? It did in Israel, as David Schiller detailed in an
interview with Jews
for the Preservation of Firearms Ownership. Schiller was born in West
Germany and moved to Israel, where he served in the military as a weapons
specialist. He later returned to Germany, and was hired as a counterterrorism
expert by the Berlin police office, as well as by police forces of other
German cities. For a while he worked in the terrorism research office
of the RAND corporation, and for several
years he published a German gun magazine.

Schiller recalls that Palestine
Liberation Organization attacks on Israeli schools began during Passover
1974. The first attack was aimed at a school in Galilee. When the PLO
terrorists found that it was closed because of Passover weekend, they
murdered several people in a nearby apartment building.

Then, on May 15, 1974, in
Maalot:

Three PLO gunmen, after
making their way through the border fence, first shot up a van load
full of workers returning from a tobacco factory (incidentally these
people happened to be Galilee Arabs, not Jews), then they entered the
school compound of Maalot. First they murdered the housekeeper, his
wife and one of their kids, then they took a whole group of nearly 100
kids and their teachers hostage. These were staying overnight at the
school, as they were on a hiking trip. In the end, the deadline ran
out, and the army’s special unit assaulted the building. During
the rescue attempt, the gunmen blew their explosive charges and sprayed
the kids with machine-gun fire. 25 people died, 66 wounded.

Israel at the time had some
strict gun laws, left over from the days of British colonialism, when
the British rulers tried to prevent the Jews from owning guns. After vigorous
debate, the government began allowing army reservists to keep their weapons
with them. Handgun carry permits were given to any Israeli with a clean
record who lived in the most dangerous areas: Judea, Samaria, and Gaza.

All over Israel, guns became
pervasive in the schools:

Teachers and kindergarten
nurses now started to carry guns, schools were protected by parents
(and often grandpas) guarding them in voluntary shifts. No school group
went on a hike or trip without armed guards. The Police involved the
citizens in a voluntary civil guard project ‘Mishmar Esrachi,’
which even had its own sniper teams. The Army’s Youth Group program,
‘Gadna’, trained 15 to 16-year-old kids in gun safety and
guard procedures and the older high-school boys got involved with the
Mishmar Esrachi. During one noted incident, the ‘Herzliyah Bus
massacre’ (March ’78, hijacking of a bus, 37 dead, 76 wounded),
these youngsters were involved in the overall security measures in which
the whole area between North Tel Aviv and the resort town of Herzlyiah
was blocked off, manning roadblocks with the police, guarding schools
kindergartens, etc.

After a while, ‘When
the message got around to the PLO groups and a couple infiltration attempts
failed, the attacks against schools ceased.’"

In what was once considered
as the freest land in the world, countries like Israel and Thailand put
US to shame. While our easily purchased corrupt politicians proclaim,
"no child will be left behind," it is becoming more and more
apparent that the last thing our politicians care about is our children
and their future.

Israel and Thailand have
adopted a policy of heavily gun-laden zones, while
limp-wristed, candy-assed American sissy "girlymen" politicians
participate in backroom trickery to violate our rights and freedoms precluding
US from engaging in crime prevention. They would
rather rely upon fascist police state after-the-fact crime-reporting,
investigation and body bag logistics. And oh yeah, school and group prayer
and counseling are also permitted after the carnage against our children
has been successfully carried out by the partnership of criminals and
politicians.

Compare the sane gun and
school policies of Israel and Thailand, and the idiotic lunacy of Australia
and Great Britain. In which countries is crime being brought under control,
and where is it skyrocketing out of control? And although the killings
are down in Israeli schools, the atrocities against Palestinians foster
the terrorism against all Israelis. Firearms ownership requires peaceful
intentions to work effectively as a crime prevention tool. And we have
even forgotten how to do that, never mind allowing our politicians to
destroy our Bill of Rights and to set up our children for the many school
massacres to come.
